If I recorded everything and took screenshots and used it as a gotcha moment like that's been tried against me on this thread and in the past, I could've showed it here but regardless I think being harassed by this group for this long is so silly.
I will only speak for myself here, but when I had stated that I don't hate you on the thread, I meant that. There are those who definitely find you insufferable who happen to be in our friend group, but they are individuals who think for themselves. There's not a "hivemind" going on; we have similar opinions on some things and disagree/differ on others just like any other friend group.
As far as the "harassing you in private spaces/plotting" bit: I hate to disappoint you, but there's not really a single person in this entire community that any of us "plotted against" as a group. Noire made that 18-page document that you mentioned of his own free will, not encouraged or prompted by anyone (which he also happened to support your app); nobody told him to do that. We aren't sitting around scheming about how to mess with people; in fact, most of us in the server don't really discuss the stuff. It's 3-5 people who do it every day and the rest of us simply play games together. Sure, we might make jokes, but we also wouldn't join you to play hangman if we hated you.
There's one thing that both groups that have been mentioned are similar in, and that's if we don't like someone at all, we don't interact with them.
We saw playing hangman as a chance to interact with you because you make it impossible to interact with when you think we hate you; I've made attempts to salvage the friendship you and I used to have but you'll unadd me unprompted and it just frustrates/confuses me (sorry to air out personal grievances, it's just relevant to this point).
Just because someone critiques you doesn't mean they don't like you; it's one thing if someone tries to hold you accountable, which I would say is a valid critique. Invalid would be things like what Maddox said (albeit it was funny and clearly a joke). Nate's reasons for -1'ing you are nearly identical to everyone else's for -1'ing you. You have a track record.
There's no reason to "plot" for your downfall. If anything, some of us (me) probably hope you can finally just stick to it instead of leaving again if you're accepted.
EDIT: I did not see that the slur thing was posted. To be frank, I have the same stance on it as Dong; don't really care. Not my business what you do with your time outside the server as long as you're not being a literal degenerate that needs to be community banned.
